LEGO Star Wars Cards

darthdc · September 2018

My brother has recently started collecting these new cards (by Immediate Media) which feature SW characters in LEGO, along with loads of foils, and 2 gold cards. Subset of vehicle cards which show images of sets plus a few of their stats (some are the UCS ones, including the Falcon V2). Not a bad looking set of cards. There are 20 Limited Edition foils, which are available in special packs/tins, and magazine issues.

There doesn't seem to have been a great deal of interest in this topic so far but I thought I would revive it to be sure! :)

I'm still sitting on the fence as to whether I should make the plunge and attempt to complete a collection of these cards. So far I have only picked up a few items:

A nice article does exist on this topic:

http://www.jedinews.co.uk/lego/articles/new-lego-star-wars-trading-cards-where-when-to-get-all-the-limited-edition-cards/

However, based on how many packs I had to buy to complete a Sainsbury's card set, I'm estimating that I will need to open at least 200 packs of 5 cards at £1 each to find all 252 cards. Probably also need to spend another £50 to get the 20 limited edition cards.

I'm just not sure the cards are worth it. Have any AFOLs out there started collecting these?

Hanzo · September 2018

I could see maybe working them into a minifig display of some sort as backers or something, but as a collectible to tuck away I doubt they would be worth much in the future. IMO.

darthdc · September 2018

My brother has found both gold cards (rarest in packs at 1:25) and has all the LEs currently available - 1 in starter pack, plus 6 via booster packs. The remaining LEs are to be found in tins (available October), plus 1 each in Octobers LEGO SW Magazine, and MEGA magazine.

thedaveyboy · October 2018

I'm collecting these, anyone want to do swaps with me?

darthdc · October 2018

Lego SW magazine for October only has 2 kits (droideka and arena beast from Ep II)

SumoLego · October 2018

Has anyone seen these in the US?

Or if someone wants to assemble a set for me in the UK, I got plenty of stuff to trade!

darthdc · October 2018

My brother got the 3 tins today (Yoda, Kylo Ren and Boba Fett). All 3 contain 5 packs and 3x LE cards.

darthdc · October 2018

Latest edition of MEGA Magazaine is out - Got LE19 (Anakin vs Dooku) card, plus 1 packet included.

darthdc · October 2018

darthdc · October 2018

So my brother is now just missing LE20, which is supposed to be coming with LEGO Star Wars Magazine. The original release for this set (in Germany) had 4 extra LE cards (LE21 - LE24).

darthdc · November 2018

LE20 is now available with the latest edition of LEGO SW Magazine, along with models of Poe's X-wing, and Kylo Ren's shuttle (it's listed as "mystery")

Poe's X-wing is the set for this month, and the second set is from a previous month; I got an Imperial Shuttle.

(I'm somewhat thankful I can't participate!)

johnsbricks · November 2018

Anyone in UK want to swap some cards...I've a whole load of duplicate cards but need around 50 more to complete collection. Thanks.

SumoLego · November 2018

I'm useless for trades, but I will gladly scarf up your extras!

SprinkleOtter · November 2018

This is just a ploy by the baseball card industry to get LEGO fans hooked, and squeeze more money out of them.

SumoLego · November 2018

Well, yes. That is the point of a colluding conspiracy with a master scheme of ulterior motives.

Please sign me up!

darthdc · November 2018

As for the mystery set, every copy of the magazine I've seen, has Kylo Ren's shuttle. (7 copies so far)

You are lucky to have those. I wish I could get them.

monkey_roo · December 2018

thought replacing/order services was due to launch today? no sign of it on the appointed website - https://www.5minutefun.com (unless looking in wrong place :))

The details don't actually show the exact date - it only says December 2018. I suppose we'll just have to wait.

monkey_roo · December 2018

Yeah, but in my head that is Dec 1st - patience is not my stong point :)
i known I will be checking obsessively every day now...

SumoLego · December 2018

I wonder how many people have a full set of these...

LEGO Fan · December 2018

So Cool!

darthdc · December 2018

the cards are now available on the site, and are oddly priced, with some cards available for free, and others at 25p each. What is odd, is that Jedi Anakin is free, while Jedi Luke is 25p (they're both Jedi cards).

darthdc · December 2018

This is going to destroy the dealers on ebay - the gold cards are on sale for 25p each as well!

monkey_roo · December 2018

Oh, well, i did spent too much on eBay for a few, but that is life :)
anyway ordered a few from the official site- only i noticed No. 9 is missing from their list? also No LE's....

I noticed the LEs were not there. Didn't notice that #9 was missing - not that it matters to me.

monkey_roo · December 2018

I emailed them and asked. No 9 now added to site. And they have confirmed they will not be selling the LE cards, no idea why.

so before I tall evilbay and overpay, anyone about to help out in LE cards? The ones I need are listed a few post up? Lots to swap if it is just for random swaps or not.

darthdc · December 2018

Haven't got any LEs to swap. Can't find any tins either.

monkey_roo · December 2018

Yeah evilbay will do, the LE's are going to be a bit pricer to pick up, but might as well finish the job - LE21-24 have to come for Germany anyway :)

SeanTheCollector · December 2018

All the normal cards 1-252 seem to be available for 40p on the website now:

https://5minutefunshop.co.uk/collections/lego-star-wars-trading-card-collection

So a full set will cost you just £100.80p! :)

monkey_roo · December 2018

Wow. At lunchtime they were all 25p a card - that is some serious fluctuation in price in a short time.
